Then I'll take her for a test drive. Is there a bedding procedure for
clutches like there is for brakes?
not really - - -

Thanks yet again Clare,
You give me the confidence to move forward on these tough-for-me jobs!

The test went supremely.
The clutch grabbed well, and low on the pedal uplift cycle.
Previously it grabbed too softly and super high (last half inch).
Now it grabs in the first few inches and grabs well.
I even stalled it a couple of times during a K turn.
I warned the driver to slip the clutch when doing slow speed K turns.

Guaranteeing you'll get to do the job again??

No need to EVER "slip" a clutch.(unless you have a severely
under-powerd vehicle) - with the exception possibly of pulling away on
a STEEP hill. Just learn to co-ordinate the throttle and the clutch.



Yeah, it's not a motorcycle. Multi-disk wet clutches are built for that;
single disk dry clutches not so much.
